Senior Promise - Christmas Party

Join us for the Senior Promise Christmas Party. This annual Christmas luncheon is held for Senior Promise members and their guests. Each ticket includes a plated lunch, beverage and dessert, entertainment, raffles and door prizes.

Monetary donations will be accepted for the Franciscan Health Food Pantry to provide for the needy during the holiday season. Those who donate to the food pantry are entered into a special raffle. Doors will open at 10:30 a.m.

Chef Wendell Fowler, a well-known WISH-8 Weekend Daybreak personality, author and presenter -- will share his experiences, humorous stories and provide food for thought for those attending this year’s Senior Promise Annual Christmas Party and Luncheon. Nearly three decades ago, most of his meals consisted of greasy gobs of fast food chased down with bourbon and beer. At 300 pounds, he was diagnosed with heart disease and his cardiologist warned him to prepare for a final exit. That’s when he decided to make radical changes in his diet and lifestyle and that turnaround has since led him to help others discover similar changes.

The ever-genial Fowler has cooked for luminaries such as the Indiana Pacers, the Beach Boys, professional wrestlers, Britney Spears, Indy 500 drivers, Eric Clapton and the late legendary tenor, Luciano Pavarotti. And add former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to that list, whom he cooked for during stints aboard Air Force One.

Cost is $20 for Senior Promise members; $25 for non-members. Lifetime members will receive early admission and priority seating for this event. To purchase tickets, call (317) 528-8277.
